I was actually quite excited about trying it out.

I wanted to play yesterday but just couldn't get the time. I got up a
bit earlier than usual this morning just so that I could get on my PC
and play the beta.

It looks pretty much like a Far Cry game, and plays pretty much like a
Far Cry game. Which is not what I was expecting.

I was expecting a deeper game. A more challenging game. I wasn't
expecting a game that has a mini-map ripped straight out of Far Cry
3/4 and 'encounters' ripped straight out of Far Cry 2/3/4.

Even the squad 'tactics' seem tacked on. Use binoculars, mark targets,
tap Q, targets die. Look on map for nearest car, drive car to next
encounter guided by the Far Cry 3/4 mini-map. Get out of car, rinse
repeat. Fall asleep.

It is so familiar and so utterly old and dull now.

The Division has redeemed itself somewhat too. I think I was hoping
for a similar type of game experience from Wildlands as well.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

I don't think that I can ever stomach another single Far Cry game
again.
